SANDPOINT — In an apparent dispute over legal counsel, four members of the Sandpoint City Council walked out and abruptly ended Wednesday’s meeting.
Councilor Joel Aispuro raised the point of contention after William Harrington was introduced as the temporary legal counsel for the meeting. Aispuro said he did not feel comfortable proceeding without the council’s appointed attorneys from Lake City Law present.
Four councilors, Justin Dick, Kyle Schreiber, Deb Ruehle and Aispuro walked out of the meeting shortly after, breaking the council's quorum and ending the meeting. The other councilors Rick Howarth and Pam Duquette left shortly after the meeting was adjourned at 5:44 p.m.
